“The Antarctic

BECAUSE OF CANADA'S geographical position the people of this
country have considerable knowledge of the nature of the area around the
Arctic circle and are familiar with its economic and strategic significance.
At the other extremity of the globe lies the Antarctic, which is likewise
an interesting and important region and it has recently been predicted that
1950 will in all probability see the greatest activity in Antarctic exploration
in the present century. ‘The continent known as Antarctica covers some
6,000,000 square miles and at the present time at least ten countries are
believed to be interested in it for purposes of scientific study, whale fishing
or territorial expansion.

Foremost among the countries interested in the early
U.S. Plans To investigation of the southern continent is the United
‘ ‘States. It is understood that an expedition may be

Send Explorer formed under the direction of Rear Admiral Richard
Evelyn Byrd who for many years has been a leading figure in Antarctic
exploration and scientific research. The forthcoming expedition would be
concerned with naval and air training problems and scientific study. The
British also plan to make routine visits and to carry out scientific research
at five small meteorological bases in the Falkland Island dependencies.
France is another nation now planning to send an expedition: there in the
coming year.

November of this year and to remain until Jan-
Are Interested uary, 1952. ‘Their activities will be centred in
Queen Maude Land, in an area claimed by Norway in 1939, and their re-
search will be in geology ’and meteorology. Other nations sending parties
to Antarctica next year include Argentine and Chile, Japan, the Nether-
lands, Norway, the Union of South Africa, and Soviet Russia, A number
of these countries have sent whaling expeditions in the past year, and plan
to continue these operations. The results of the forthcoming explorattons
and scientific studies will doubtless add much to our knowledge of that
great and remote region, while the whaling activities will benefit those
countries which participate. The United States has, in the past, Suggested
that the area should be internationalized but so far this proposal has not
met with widespread favour. However, the activity and interest which is
anticipated in the coming year may give rise to some international plan
regarding the future of the Antarctic.

Dutch Farmers
To Settle In
-Alberta Next Year

EDMONTON,—Dr. . Tuinman
of Ottawa, agricultural agd immigra-
tion attache at the Nethérlands em-
bassy, announced that the movement
of Dutch families to Alberta next
year would total 2,000. He estimated
that 10,000 Hollanders would settle
in Canada compared with 7,000 dur-
ing this year. Since the Second
Great War more than 20,000 have
come to Canada.

The newcomers, Dr. Tuinman said,
would be independent farmers but
owing to restrictions on the move-
ment of capital, they would be pre-
vented from bringing funds with
which to buy land and consequently
would be employed in various labor-
ing lines, hoping to accumulate
funds that would help them to ac-
quire permanent holdings.

The attache, during his western
visit, discussed trade situations and
the possibilities for greater markets
for Dutch exports, remarking that if
Canada would purchase more Dutch
manufactured goods, then the Neth-
erlands would be in a position to buy
Canadian wheat and other products.

Duck Production
Being Increased

WINNIPEG.—Man’s work, coupled
with nature’s bounty, has been grad-
ually increasing duck production
from’ the low (of . the early ’30's,
George R. Fanset of Winnipeg, gen-
eral manager of Ducks ‘ Unlimited
(Canada), told the opening session of
the 39th annual convention ‘of the
International Association of Game,
Fish and Conservation Commission-
ers. He claimed a substantial in-
crease in duck production has taken
place this year despite drought con-
ditions ‘over a large part of the prai-
ries.

PIGEON EVIDENTLY

MOOSE JAW, Sask. — Bill Ken-

1947 to A. J. McGregor of London,
Ont., 1,600 miles east of Regina. The
bird arrived back in Regina six
months later. :

In February of this year, Mr. Ken-
nedy tried again. He sold the pigeon

Grain Supplies
Brighter Than
First Estimate

OTTAWA—Canadian._ supplies
of coarse grains in 1949-50 may
be somewhat brighter than indi-
cated in the early estimates of
production, the Bureau of Statis-
tics reports.

In its quarterly review of the
coarse grain situation, the bureau
said its August 16 preliminary esti-
mate was based on conditions July
31, when harvesting of Spring grains
had not yet become general in major
producing areas.

“The outlook may be considerably
ehanged, when the second estimate of
Canada’s 1949 grain production is is-
sued September 15.”

Lack of adequate rainfall over
fairly large sections of Alberta,
Saskatchewan ‘and Ontario during |
the critical germination and growing
periods reduced yields considerably in
the more seriously -affected areas.

However, yields of Spring grains in
many sections of Ontario were con-
siderably above earlier, expectations
and results of the actual harvesting
operations in Western Canada could

‘|change the over-all supply picture

considerably, the report said, ;

The 1948-49 crop provided for a
carry-over July 31 of 59,000,000 bush-
els of oats and 29,000,000 of barley,
bringing expected .supplies for the
new crop year to 376,000,000 for oats
and 156,000,000 for barley.

Prospective fodder supplies for
1949-50 are well below those -of 1948-
49, the report said. One compensat-
ing factor will»be the generally ex-
cellent fodder corn crop which will
help improve the situation on many
dairy farms.

FLEISCHMANN’S YEAST
MAGIC BAKING POWDER

G ror RANDOLPH lay staring
at the ceiling, his mind hover-
ing on sleep, That Agnes Davidson,
George thought, she’s the talking-est
woman. Now that Jane’s got me to
buy that television set, I suppose the
Davidsons will be dropping in every
night. Why the devil did I let Jane
talk me into the thing?

George’s eyes fluttered shut and his
mind began to teeter over the brink.

“George!” It was Jane, in a sharp
whisper,

“Huh?” George responded sleepily.

“Get up! There’s somebody down-
stairs.” Then George. heard it too,
in the living-room,

George slipped out of bed to the
closet. Carefully he lifted out his
shotgun, reserved for rare days of
duck hunting, and chambered a shell.
He held the gun in the folds of a
suit hanging in the closet as he snap-
ped it shut with a muffled click,

Moving cautiously, he stepped out
into the hall and went to the stairs.
There he halted and listened. Then
he again heard-the footsteps.

Holding his gun ready, George de-~
scended. At the bottom step he ran
his hand» along the wall untib -he
found the light switch. Nothing hap-
pened. The room remained in dark-
ness. * :

Immediately there flashed across
George’s mind the recent headlines
in the papers: “PHANTOM BURG-
LAR. STRIKES AGAIN!” The burg-
lar who uns¢rewed all the light bulbs
so he could escape in the dark.

The -man now in the dining-room
must have heard the switch. George
could sense him moving towards the
